    Hi,
    I'm trying to setup the line thickness for my drawing Template. I have
    created 5 concentric circles and assigned for each of them a specific
    line thickness, inside thin to outside thick. Then,I went into
    File-Print-Line Weights and put .1 .3 .5 .7 and 1mm for the first five
    line thickness. Then I looked the Print Preview: everything was fine.
    I printed that and got for the first two circles a certain line
    weight, the three other an other line weight. It was not corresponding
    the gradient it was suppose to give. I tried many many times playing
    with the Print Line Weights and I never got on paper what I saw on
    preview and expected to get. These five circles was in a block on a
    Sheet Format.
    Then, I copied these circles on the Sheet Format outside the block. It
    worked properly.
    Has someone seen that block problem before?
    What is the best method to create Sheet Format? Is it:
    Create it directly in sheet format
    Doing different block: border, title box, scale box, date box, and
    putting these blocks together on a Sheet Format without exploding
    anything
    Importing an Autocad Format (on one or multiple layers?)
    Can someone help?
    Thanks
    JC
